After the book The Lorax, we made our own Truffula Trees using forks and paint! We’re also watching be movie “The Lorax,” and comparing the book to the movie with our own Venn Diagram chart!

We had so much fun at our class Valentines party today! We ate pizza and then decorated our own homemade cupcakes! They turned out great, and tasted amazing too!

Thanks to everyone who “liked” our bulletin board on Facebook during Catholic Schools Week! Because of you.... we won the most likes and we won an ice cream party!!! We had so much fun

Yesterday, we celebrated the Lunar New Year and learned all about how people in China celebrate. We watched a video about different foods and traditions in China during the new year, and we also watched a video of a special Chinese parade with a dragon in it! Then, we rotated in different stations with Ms. Sarah’s preschool class! We used chopsticks to pick up M&M candies, colored Chinese New Year pictures, and worked on making a dragon! Then, we went on a parade around the hallway with our dragon! Happy New Year!

On Friday, we were lucky enough to have a resource trunk from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources! We were able to observe and touch/feel different animal furs and pelts from a coyote, opossum, beaver, raccoon, skunk, mink, and squirrel! We used measuring tools such as rulers and measuring tape to measure the furs and pelts, and we also drew observations that we made!
